NEW YORK, Dec. 28, 2025, 2:01 p.m. ET — Market closed (weekend) American Airlines Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: AAL) heads into Monday’s reopening with investors balancing two narratives that can move airline stocks quickly: near-term operational turbulence from Northeast winter weather and a longer-term operational reset at its most important hub aimed at improving reliability. With U.S. equity markets closed on Sunday, AAL’s next real-time price discovery comes Monday’s premarket and the 9:30 a.m. ET open. The stock last traded around $15.44, down about 1.56% versus the prior close, on heavy end-of-week volume. AAL stock snapshot as markets pause for the

CrowdStrike (CRWD) Stock Update: Weekend Wrap, Fresh Analyst Calls, and What to Watch When Markets Reopen

NEW YORK, Dec. 28, 2025, 2:16 p.m. ET — Market closed CrowdStrike Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: CRWD) heads into the final trading stretch of 2025 with Wall Street still debating a familiar question: has the cybersecurity leader’s AI-driven momentum already been fully priced in—or is there more runway once markets reopen? With U.S. equities closed for the weekend, investors are using the pause to digest a cluster of late-week analyst commentary and research notes, plus a steady drumbeat of institutional-position headlines. The next real test comes when trading resumes Monday, as markets weigh holiday-thinned liquidity, a busy economic calendar, and a

GE Aerospace Stock (NYSE: GE) Heads Into Monday With Ex‑Dividend Catalyst, Analyst Targets, and Year‑End Trading in Focus

NEW YORK, Dec. 28, 2025, 1:46 p.m. ET, Market closed GE Aerospace (NYSE: GE) stock heads into Monday’s session with two powerful, near-term narratives converging: a year-end market backdrop defined by light holiday volume and record-level index territory, and a company-specific calendar catalyst as GE trades ex-dividend on Monday, Dec. 29. With U.S. equity markets closed Sunday, investors are using the downtime to position for the final trading days of 2025—and for GE Aerospace, that means weighing a dividend-driven technical adjustment against the stock’s broader momentum near fresh highs.

Philip Morris International Stock (NYSE: PM) Update: Ex‑Dividend Drop Explained, ZYN Momentum in Focus, and Analyst Targets Ahead of Monday’s Open

NEW YORK, Dec. 28, 2025, 1:42 p.m. ET — Market closed (weekend). Philip Morris International Inc. (NYSE: PM) heads into the final full trading week of 2025 with investors balancing two forces: a mechanically driven “ex-dividend” price reset that hit Friday’s tape, and a longer-running debate over how durable PMI’s smoke‑free growth engine—especially ZYN—can be as competition heats up and regulators keep the category under a microscope. With U.S. equities hovering near record levels into year-end, positioning and headline sensitivity can be amplified by lighter holiday liquidity—conditions that can matter even for defensive, dividend-heavy names like Philip Morris.

NEW YORK, Dec. 28, 2025, 1:43 p.m. ET — Market closed Western Digital Corporation (NASDAQ: WDC) heads into the final week of 2025 with U.S. markets shut for the weekend and investors weighing whether the storage hardware rally still has room to run as trading resumes Monday. The stock ended the most recent session (Friday, Dec. 26) up 1.10% to $181.54, extending its winning streak to three straight days, even as the broader market was largely flat into the post-Christmas lull. Trading volume was light versus recent averages—a common feature of late-December tape action and one reason traders often treat

Disney stock last closed at $113.56 on Friday, Dec. 26, down about 0.8% on the day. Nasdaq+1 Disney stock price recap: What happened

Home Depot Stock (HD) News: What Investors Need to Know Before Monday as Wall Street Targets a Strong Year-End Finish

NEW YORK, Dec. 28, 2025, 11:57 a.m. ET — Market closed Home Depot stock is heading into Monday’s session with the broader market still in “year-end mode”—thin volumes, index milestones in view, and investors laser-focused on the interest-rate path that ultimately drives housing turnover and big-ticket renovation demand. With U.S. markets closed for the weekend, the last actionable read for investors is Friday’s close: The Home Depot (NYSE: HD) finished at $349.78, up about 0.7%, after trading between roughly $346 and $350. That modest gain came in a session where Wall Street itself barely budged. In the light, post-holiday trade,

NEW YORK, Dec. 28, 2025, 11:54 a.m. ET — Market closed (Weekend) Rigetti Computing, Inc. (Nasdaq: RGTI) heads into the final trading week of 2025 with investors digesting a sharp Friday reversal in one of the market’s most momentum-driven corners: “pure-play” quantum computing stocks. In the last regular session (Friday, Dec. 26), Rigetti shares finished around $22.38, down roughly 8.6%–8.7% on the day after swinging between about $22.33 and $24.51.

NEW YORK, Dec. 28, 2025, 11:53 a.m. ET — Market closed — Salesforce, Inc. (NYSE: CRM) stock heads into the final trading days of 2025 with investors weighing two very different narratives: Wall Street’s generally bullish long-term price targets versus near-term questions about how quickly Salesforce can convert AI “Agentforce” momentum into durable revenue acceleration. With U.S. stock markets closed for the weekend, CRM shares are last pegged near Friday’s close of $266.08, after finishing up 0.31% on the day.

NEW YORK, Dec. 28, 2025, 11:53 a.m. ET — Market closed (Weekend). SoFi Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: SOFI) enters the final week of 2025 with investors balancing two competing narratives: a fintech name that’s rebuilt momentum on profitability and product expansion, and a stock that now has to “earn” its premium in a market where year-end positioning, light volumes, and rate expectations can amplify every headline. That backdrop matters because U.S. stocks just ended a quiet, post-Christmas session near record highs, with the major indexes barely moving as traders looked ahead to the final stretch of the year.
